Delk, 23, and O’Mahony, 21, have been dating for two years, but have known each other for six years.

"I graduated from Asheboro High School and she graduated from Providence Grove and we met through mutual acquaintances," said Delk, who submitted the couple’s photo for the contest. "We were friends first and then started hanging around together. It just clicked for us."

Delk and O’Mahony have a busy lifestyle, with school and jobs, but enjoy working out together, cooking and hiking. Delk added that the couple enjoy being outdoors together.

"We are both really down-to-earth and the time we spend together is nice," he said. "She is outgoing, friendly and straightforward and I like that about her.

"Being with her makes life fun and more enjoyable."
